Kerry Wood opened the door ever so slightly this weekend to a return to the Chicago Cubs.

At Ryan Dempster’s charity even on Friday, Wood told the Chicago Tribune that there was a chance he could return to Chicago.

“There has been a lot of interest, but at this stage of my career it has to be the right fit for my family,” Wood said. “We are raising our kids and making our permanent home in Chicago, so we’ll see what happens.”

And about actually coming back to play for the Cubs?

“Nothing is impossible. We’ll see how things play out.”

It’s no secret that Wood could get more from another team than the Cubs would be able (willing?) to afford. It’s also likely that Wood could find a closing job somewhere. But at least he’s saying there’s a chance.

I think it would a big clubhouse boost to have him back. And an excellent influence on the kids. It would boost alot of spirits to have him back. I think Lee’s signing for less to be where he wanted may influence him a bit.

I agree. It’s time for Ricketts to put up or shut up. Up until now he’s let Hendry do most of the thinking and talking. Unfortunately Jim’s been snake bit by bad trades, releases, and signings recently and is fighting for his dignity and job. Translation- he won’t pony up any cash for an old friend or get locked into anything more than a short term deal without his boss’s okay. The reaction to Woody’s comments belong to Ricketts. If Ricketts is really a fan first and an owner second, he’ll find a little Christmas bonus in the back of his wallet to bring Woody back. If not, the Cubs are just like any of his other assets, like an Arby’s or car dealership.

I think we need to have medics on call for ramy16. I think he is close to having a heart attack.

Hes not coming back!! His window to win a ring is slowly closing & the Cubs are FAR away from that. If i were Wood i would give Philly the deal of a life time
